Just WOW, in my opinion better than a classic de luxe connie

Interesting piece.
I like it!

In a Party/black tie watch thin & long Baguette cut Diamonds are nice, not too much sparkling like other more common Diamond cuts!
I would not mind the indices, if it’s done when the watch was ordered new, by the AD!
It would make the watch less original,
but still I don’t think you could order these enhencements directly from Omega
(I might be wrong?!),
so if a “good“ customer wanted it,
it had to be done by the AD for him!

In that case, it would be rare and therefore interesting for me!

If it’s a now, new reproduced „old“watch, made from .bay parts, it is a different story!

Diamonds ? No, thank you.

Really it’s nice and subtle I felt otherwise on this one.

Honestly have found diamond marker not likeable, except when in a very sparse and duscreet dial, which get that extra spark.

For example, this Audemars with VZSS movement (SteveG):

It is the opposite, round brilliant cut diamonds are more sparkling than baguette cut diamonds, due to more and smaller facets in every direction!
A baguette cut is more simple, reserved in appearance.

I have used the term “spark” in the wrong context, where “spark” could mean shiny and flashy. I was meaning “spark” as a touch of extra glamour in an otherwise subdued and regular dial.

Sorry ...maybe I (!) just didn’t understand it the way You ment it, due to English isn’t my first language! Lol!

Now I got You! Thanks!

I think, in a mens watch (and male accessories as well) to find the fine line between a masculine but glamorous design and a over the point piece is very difficult!
That’s why IMO many men prefer e.g. stainless steel watches, or accessories as simple or as classic as possible, over gold and Jewellery like watches, or gemstone Jewellery.

The famous quote “less is more” of Mies van der Rohe, feels just more safe!

After all a (black tie-) watch or accessories
shall support (spark up) ones personality, not change it!

I know it’s poor form as a native speaker to make fun of such a minor error, but the comma in the title of that video is adorable. He’s not merely crazy—he’s also Belgian!
